Hello all,
I have a HTC Desire with android 2.2, and I am using Better Keyboard with the Dutch Language Pack in the user dictionary. I have a problem with manually adding words to the dictionary. After some time, it just forgets the words. I have added some screenshots in order to clarify my problem:

I have already reported the problem to the Better Keyboard developers, and they said they would investigate the issue. However, I am not sure whether this is a better keyboard issue, or a user dictionary issue, what do you think?
Have you got a solution for me perhaps?
Edit: not allowed to attach screenshots....
Hello. i am posting here, in desperation for not being able to find a working T9 keyboard. I used smart keyboard pro, which used to work wonderfully on my HTC HD2. Now i have a Galaxy s2, and with the stock rom it didn't work properly. I type very fast, and the program is not able to "detect all the keypresses accurately?" and i cannot write correctly. I installed Android 4.4/CM 11 AOKP (Pound rom) and still the problem resides. I tried so far:
-perfect keyboard, both free and pro
-black bolts keyboard
-super keyboard
-smart keyboard pro
-sony experia z1 keyboard (couldn't even open it. force closes, instantly)
I just wanted an old school Compact T9 keyboard, with Portuguese dictionary. Seems pretty simple, but it's becoming a burden to find one that works! Anything of help would be appreciated...
I've been using swiftkey for many many years, it works really well and builds its dictionary using your email, facebook, sms and twitter vocabulary. Try it, I think you'll love it.
See ya!
thanks for replying. But since when is swiftkey a compact T9?
still looking for an alternative.. help anyone?
Problem solved. Touch pal x keyboard works like a charm with full t9 working. This thread can be closed

Same problem in snote. When you try to convert handwriting to text the app just closes. Math formula function is working though.
No solution but not an issue for me as I never used the function in the past 9 months
Only in Dutch?
I am a very happy user of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and yesterday l finally upgraded my device to Android Kitkat 4.4.2. l live in Belgium (Dutch region) and since the upgrade for The Netherlands is still not available I downloaded the firmware for France on the website of SamMobile, using Odin 3.09 to flash the system as described.
All went well during the upgrade and after only a few minutes l could enjoy all features of kitkat on my tablet. The device seems to work very smoothly and fast, there are no hickups or whatsoever.
There's only one issue, and for me that's a major one: the s-pen! It seems to be impossible to use handwriting for text input when in Dutch. When using French or English there's no problem at all, handwriting works just fine and even faster and more accurate than before, but as soon as I switch languages to Dutch it all goes wrong. It seems to me that the handwriting function for Dutch is simply not supported since I cannot find the icon for stylus input when in Dutch too. I do find icons for voice-input (the microphone), smilys, splitted keyboard and settings, but no handwriting icon. As soon as I change language on the keyboard to English or French, the handwriting option appears alongside the others. So my guess is this issue is not related to the Kitkat-upgrade itself but to the fact this upgrade is not foreseen to be used in a Dutch region. I don't know if there's a solution, besides waiting for the official firmware upgrade for an region (Belgium, which is mostly included in the Luxemburg-version and the Netherlands). l hope there will be an upgrade for these regions very soon, l use the handwriting function a lot and if it would take too long I will be forced to downgrade my device to the previous version again., which would be a bummer.
For the other people who started this thread: what version did you guys install, where did it come from, for which region is it meant and what languages are you using when encountering those s-pen issues? Is the problem similar to mine or do you also have problems using the s-pen when in English or French? Just to find out what could be the cause of all pain...
Please, when leaving feedback add this info to your message: region of the upgrade and language(s) you're using when encountering the s-pen issues.
Thanks in advance & regards,
Rudy (Belgium)
Jep, language is the problem. When I try to set a language for handwriting in input settings, settings crash and I'm back on the home screen.
[E] problem solved: you need to update your language packs. Go to settings/language&input and then enter the Samsung keyboard settings there press "+ select input language" and then you should see a little "update" button next to your downloaded languages. Hit those buttons for the languages you use and after the update handwriting recognition should be fine again. Hope that wasn't too complicated

Hi there,
l updated the languages and indeed all works fine now. I didn't even notice there was an update available before, maybe it's not out for so long, but thank you very much for this feedback, now l'm a very happy user again! You just saved my life, I really didn't want to use the onscreen keyboard all the time. Thanx!
I just upgraded my Nexus 7 2013 to Marshmallow and it seems faster and better than Lollipop, but!
I noticed that Google Keyboard word's suggestion is not working in any other languages but English. I use Russian as second keyboard and word's suggestion field just above keyboard is always empty in all the apps! It was definitely working before upgrade and I didnt change any settings after upgrade. I checked Spanish and French and result is the same - no word's suggestion at all!!!
It only works in English for me now.
Auto-correction is not working too!
Could anyone check if his/her tablet is acting same way?
I've spent few hours so far for Language&Input menu with no success at all!
PS Its related to original Google keyboard not third party.
Either no one cared or I was alone with this issue, anyway I want to update on this. It was magically resolved on its own, no changes no reboots were made and auto-correction and word's suggestion just started to work!
Hi there
I recently got the 7.1.1 update on my Nexus 5x.
I am using the native google keyboard with the slide functionality.
However since the update i can no longer slide-type words that uses the danish "æ" or "ø" letters (located on the far right and middle row of letters) when i slide a word like "kære" it will suggest various other words that doesn't contain the letter "æ" like køre, kort or similar. I can slide words using the special character "å" fine.
Also if i tap the words out i can use the letter "æ" and "ø" fine. Just not when i use slide.
I tried installation a different keyboard, Swiftkey, and when i use that keyboard it works fine. I just prefer the native keyboard.
Also i have Google Nexus 5 and on that phone everything works fine.
I tried to do a factory reset but the problem is still there.
Does anyone have any idea how to make this work again?
Download the Gboard APK from xda. It's an updated version of Google keyboard, works great for me now.
